Since GW is being the very worst that they can be and TTS is finished I think we should start archiving before everything gets purged.

He’s voluntarily taking down TTS and hasn’t been contacted by GW from the sounds of things. He’s going on hiatus and I haven’t seen anything purged. But I’m sure there will be thousands of fans already downloaded everything TTS.
The guy was on hiatus for over half a year
Makes work relying on other people's IP
GW always had warned people that they would take legal steps against those that abuse gw property to illegally create income streams
Which is the crux, coz guess what, 1st link on alfubasa's page (and others) is: "my patreon"
For a quick example

That was gw's official intellectual property guideline in december 2007
"So, If you are using or want to use our intellectual property and you do not have a written license with us, you must not:
Use Games Workshop’s intellectual property in relation to any commercial activity[---]"
There are enough examples of animators who do not run into problems with GW for refusing participation in warhammer + because they simply do not make money with their work.
^Im not sure if you understand that parody generally is the exception to that rule or do you think Disney should sue Robot Chicken for its Star Wars skits?
Like I said, Bruva had a kid, got another job and was already on hiatus. His video said GW hadn’t contacted him so it seems he’s just shutting TTS just in case. Parody can be a fair use exception and I expect it probably would be accepted if it came down to it. But from my perspective, this seems more like Alfa taking a long break rather than see whether GW write or not.
You really think they get no license for their work?star wars and the likes are pretty infamous when it comes to copyright
Robot Chicken and Family Guy approached Lucasfilm for prior permission.
What do you think?
